You didn't even read the thread. I suggest you to do so, start with page 1. Thank you.
I read it, don't recall anyone saying high heels were sexist, and don't care to read it again. You are the one claiming sexism was used as an argument.
Because loud minority decided to voice VERY LOUDLY their personal preferences about this thing, in the very same thread? You clearly didn't read the thread.
The point was, you can not argue that something is extremely unimportant so other people should stop bringing it up, but also so important that it can not be changed.
Thanks for explaining me the obvious, I really appreciate it.
If it was so obvious your logic was faulty, why did you make that argument? (rhetorical question)
And more importantly - I LIKE these high heels. I don't want them to be changed
So then all the stuff about it just being a game and not to post about petty aesthetics is only for people who want the option to change the footwear. You, on the other hand, can argue for your position on that very same topic... because that wouldn't make you just like a self-important person that would post a different opinion than you have.
So why their opinion matters more?
People expressed a desire to change the footwear; nobody started a campaign to ban high heels from the game.
I don't know what is going to happen since it doesn't sound like an easy thing to change, but I hope you keep the option to have female characters wear high heels. If I have the option, I will certainly change it to something that wouldn't look so silly. With the camera zoomed out, footwear doesn't stand out a lot of the time on an inch high avatar, so it wouldn't be the end of the world either way.
